Subdividing The Bainbridge Class
Some sources break the Bainbridge class into other classes.
- Hopkins and Hull were oil-fueled rather than coal-fueled, had turtle deck forward and may be considered to be Hopkins-class.
- Lawrence and Macdonough had two additional 6-pounder guns, turtledeck forward, carried their funnels in only one group of four and may be considered to be Lawrence-class.
- Paul Jones, Perry and Preble carried one twin torpedo tube instead of two singles and may be considered to be Lawrence-class.
- Stewart was equipped with Seabury boilers and was fastest of the 400-tonners (she was also the smallest).
